Top 10 Gluten-Free Dining Spots to Experience in University City, San Diego

Beautiful atmosphere drew us in, but the service and food were both fantastic! My husband had the hanger steak and he said it was great but the asparagus was the most perfectly cooked he's ever had. He also got the giant pretzel and loved it. I has the way double smash burger, which was like a big Mac with a gluten free bun and egg and it was so good! I devoured it. The food also came out so fast, we couldn't believe it. Awesome experience.

Randomly came in and the food was so good! Great gluten free option! Alexis is amazing, so sweet, and great at her job! As I fellow service worker, I would recommend this place!!

When I go here I like to think of Milo and what his square meal looked like. This is what I imagine. Not anything extraordinary or terrible. Nothing too filling but not too light. Not meat heavy, veggie only, or gluten free. Just an overall "square meal' is what you can expect. This is what classic San Diego fair is. P.S bring back the butter lettuce.

One of the few healthy places I can eat out at that is ALSO delicious! Many gluten and dairy free options. The salmon plate with curried cauliflower and avocado/tomato salad is my go to. The employees are always friendly, too. Highly recommend!

We absolutely love Amalfi Llama! My daughter and I have the pleasure of regularly dining at Amalfi llama - a ritual we started after a fantastic first visit. The setting is so beautiful - expertly decorated, flattering lighting, and ample outdoor seating with heat lamps and fireplaces. The bar is gorgeous, too. I can only speak to a few menu items as we order the same thing each visit, because they are so delicious. The staff has always been 100% wonderful, from the warm greetings of the hosts/hostesses to the kind and expertly trained and servers and support crew, who carefully accommodate our daughter’s Celiac disease. We especially enjoy the service and camaraderie from Jasmine and Danny. We look forward to our visits every week, and are grateful to have found such a wonderful home away from home to enjoy a night out in a new-to-us town.

This is one of my go-to places for good drinks. Most of their appetizers are fried and are thus not celiac-friendly but the wait staff is very knowledgable about such things and can help you find something on the menu if you have issues with gluten and dairy.

I’ve been to this location about 5 times so far and it is so consistent on quality, service and offerings, I keep going back. Highly recommended in UTC, the wine list is top notch and food selections are dynamite. Keep it up! Many gluten free options too.

Ordered a #6 which was just sausage and potato to share. All the options are a bit overwhelming. Make sure to check all the recommendations and take a peek at the toppings while your order is cooking. It’s a great gluten-free, corn-free snack as I believe they use rice flour, but I could be wrong, so do your own research if you have allergies. Imagine a hot dog and fries, without the bun and without having to eat a whole order of fries. I just wish the sausage (hot dog) was better quality.

The food was delicious, the portions were big and filling for the price and the service was great! The atmosphere is homey and it makes you feel comfortable already. Would definitely recommend to come here they even have vegan and gluten free options that I will be trying next! Keep it up 10/10

Board and brews menus is one of the best. The never skimp on toppings. The gluten free wrap is one of the best I’ve ever tasted. Limited drink menu at UTC compared to a standalone spot but you get the same quality and service.
